ice cream dress blouse

{Just in case you’re wondering, I hinted at a tutorial that was going to be posted today, but it got bumped to Monday, so I’ll give you the scoop then!}

Here’s view C of the Ice Cream Dress by Oliver + S in size 12-18 months. I made it a few weeks ago, but haven’t gotten around to blogging about it yet. How weird is that? I find time to sew stuff now and don’t take time to blog about it? Anyway…

I really loved to have an excuse to buy this pattern, as you know there was an Ice Cream Dress Social going on over at Badskirt. I think it’s a really versatile pattern and hope to make some fallish/winterish versions here in the next few months (too bad I totally slacked off and only made one blouse for the social). The print is pretty large but I think it works well for this top.

And then there’s this shirt I made using a freezer paper stencil, it was my last shirt to use up before they got to be too small for Emily. There was a pair of shorts that I was also making with cherries on it, but I gave up on them, onto other things I guess! I should really switch gears and stop making summer clothes – at least we can layer things, right?!

Love the stenciled shirt, especially the little cherries at the neck on the back. Nice touch. I really want to try freezer paper stenciling, but the list of projects I want to do is getting unmanageable. Maybe I should move “clone myself” to the top of the list and that will solve all of my problems.

cute cherries! I’ve tried freezer paper stenciling once and really liked it. Such a cool idea to put a smaller version on the back. I would have never thought of that! Love the blouse too! I’m not confident enough in my sewing skills quite yet to attempt something like that! Thanks for the scoop though 😉
